Aw so many wonderful comments already and all have so lovingly shared my own reaction….

You’re a master storyteller: thanks for this writing lesson but mostly thanks for giving us the emotional tour of attending this glorious reunion.

I think for those of us with large families and the full batch of intertwining personalities and misfits —you took me to my family gatherings and made me miss them.

But I fell in love with yours and you touchingly shared the beauty and magic of family acceptance, kinship, community and love.

Enjoyed this read so much!!💜💜💜👏🏽👏🏽
